Heirplanes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are phantoms of the future
Ordinaries from the super but we are high
Sing your anthems to your rulers
Disconnect from their medullas and be alive
We are transients from the sewers
But please treat us like we're friends when we arrive
You can kill or just destroy them
Here's your pistol and your poison, please decide
Please decide

[Chorus]
Because heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound
But oh what a lie
Oh what a lie

[Verse 2]
With the sun as my accomplice
So dear God please be my compass
Be my guide
I got my dowry for Medusa
Hopefully she'll take my ring and be my bride

We will gather information
Secret meeting in my basement
We are spies
You can kill or just destroy them
Here's your pistol and your poison, please decide
Please decide
Please decide
[Chorus]
Because heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound
Because heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound
But oh what a lie
Oh me oh my
Oh what a lie
No kings, no queens
No butterflies
No kings, no queens
No butterflies
No kings, no queens

[Verse 3]
Canaries in your cavern
While you sleep in your apartments
We must hide
Take the veils off of your killer
Take your place inside the search light
And be described
Lets see your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Because we are phantoms from the future
Ordinaries from the super but we are high
Just the transients from the sewers
Please don't treat us like we're friends when we arrive
When we arrive
[Chorus]
Because heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound
But oh what a lie
Oh me, oh my
Oh what a lie
No queens, no kings
No butterflies
No kings, no queens
No butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
